PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT The purpose of this document is to facilitate the commissioning of EtherNET/IP communications on the MD500- PLUS/MD520 drives. To perform this procedure, an MD500-PLUS/MD520 and an optional MD500-EN1 communications card are required. INOVANCE TECHNOLOGY EUROPE GmbH...
OVERVIEW The MD500-EN1 card is an EtherNET/IP fieldbus adapter card. It is installed in the MD series AC drive to increase the communication efficiency and implement the AC drive networking function, which enables the AC drive to be a slave controlled by the fieldbus master station.
The MD500-EN1 card is installed inside the MD500 series AC drive. Before installation, deenergize the AC drive and wait about 10 minutes until the charging indicator on the AC drive becomes off. Then, insert the MD500-EN1 card into the AC drive and fasten the screws to avoid damage caused by external signal cable tension on the signal socket between boards.
The pin header J7 on the back of the MD500-EN1 card is used to connect the AC drive. The MD500-EN1 card provides two network ports J4 and J6 for communication with EtherNET/IP master (or other slaves). For details about the hardware, see Table Table 1.
COMMUNICATION CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATION SETUP FOR MD500-EN1 CARD AND MD500-PLUS/MD520 AC DRIVE The following parameters must be set to enable normal communication between the MD500-EN1 card and MD500-PLUS/MD520 series AC drive and to connect the MD500-EN1 card to the EtherNET/IP fieldbus network.

PROJECT EXAMPLES INOPROSHOP PROJECT (INOVANCE’S AM/AC SERIES CONTROLLERS) The AM600 master station is used as an example to describe how to use the MD500-EN1 card with the master station. This example uses InoProShop version 1.8.0. Configure the MD500-EN1 card according section 5 of this guide. Connect either network port on the left or right of the expansion card.
